COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONCzech-style Pilsner. Imperial Pils is a crisp, more intense version of a classic Pilsner. Light golden in color and carrying a heady herbaceous nose, it offers a dry bitterness on the palate and fresh, floral finish from the use of traditional Eastern European hops.

Aroma is light herbal spicy hop and sweet pils malt. Appearance is hazy light apricot with small light tan head. Taste is sweet and malty. Firm crisp hop bitterness. Light aroma hopping comes through as spicy and herbal. Palate is medium full. Crisp hop bitterness breaks through sweet malt and lingers Overall a nice beer. Could have more malt complexity as an "Imperial" and more aroma hopping but still nice.

A half finger of head on a clear, golden colored body with a few bubbles lazily floating up.
The aroma is faint. A little hay and citrus come through.
The taste has a nice boldness to it: moderately lemon bitterness with a good balance of malt, but avoids becoming sweet.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
A fine drink.
